“InstaWeather Pro is exactly what I-m looking for when wanting to drive viewers to my station-s social media sites or tease them to tune in on TV. Posts are always more effective with photos and links. Since my posts are primarily weather related, InstaWeather Pro does exactly what I need it to do — it gives a small bit of weather information to drive viewers to our News12 website or News 12 app to find the rest of my forecast. As a certified broadcast meteorologist, I take pride in preparing my own forecast each day. The weatherman mode allows me to enter my own forecast numbers, choose my own weather icons, and even overlay my station-s logo right on the picture.”
